"Aw, turn Rush Limbaugh off!" (spot the MST3K ref...)

[arethinn]

One of the unfortunate consequences of my having to be at work at 10:00 am (instead of 12:30 like I used to way back in the day) is that my mother is often in the kitchen listening to Rush Limbaugh when I am trying to make lunch or eat breakfast or something. This morning there was some kind of ad I wasn't really listening to that was for some kind of wireless service - "up to 100 users at a time". I assumed it was for some kind of small business installation. My mother seemed to think it was so you could take your own wireless with you, like that service I think it is Verizon has.

I said, "Mom, these ads are all aimed towards people with money to invest. The only people listening to this are rich, conservative Republicans." She says, "now, that's not true." And I suppose she's right: there are probably rich, conservative non-Republicans; conservative Republicans that are not rich; some Libertarians; people receiving therapy for low blood pressure; and let us not forget the people who just like to make themselves angry.
